Default drifting with lsx

what do you guys do as far as oil control goes. i've looked into a lot of things, canton oil pan, accusump, ls6 oil pump, baffle plates. just wanna get a better idea of what you guys do.

There are a few drifters on here with 240s. I'm thinking most go with the Sikky Set up for those vehicles. Dry sump would most likely be best for drifting. Or at least make sure to upgrade the oil pump and make sure it is baffled well. There is one guy I've met that just swapped in an LS in his 240 and it seized up due to oil starvation.
What kind of vehicle are you planning on using and what LS?

I autocross my LS1 Daytona and have no oil pressure problems so far. It pulls over 1.5 G's on R-Comps. I am using a 10 QT pan from Champ pans. It has 4 trap doors on the baffles. I can't imagine any drift car even approaching the level of grip I am seeing. I used their 7qt pan on my Ford 302 for 2 seasons and also had no problems. Champ only makes pans for cars that go around corners.

Yeah that's more pan than I need. I found the improved performance baffle plate. Gonna run that.
